★ Yahweh

Lyrics to the last track, “Yahweh”, from U2’s upcoming album which you can listen to here. I’m a latecomer to U2 fandom, but they’re really growing on me. This next album looks very, very good.

Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit
Take this shirt
Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt
And make it clean, clean
Take this soul
Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul
And make it sing

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I’m waiting for the dawn

Take these hands
Teach them what to carry
Take these hands
Don’t make a fist
Take this mouth
So quick to criticise
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I’m waiting for the dawn

Still waiting for the dawn, the sun is coming up
The sun is coming up on the ocean
This love is like a drop in the ocean
This love is like a drop in the ocean

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, tell me now
Why the dark before the dawn?

Take this city
A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city
If it be your will
What no man can own, no man can take
Take this heart
Take this heart
Take this heart
And make it break

    Beware, U2 also blaspheme Yahweh during their Vertigo shows. They have been showing pagan-spiritistic symbols on the big screen light board while Bono sings "Yahweh". That is directly against Exodus 20:1-7, absolutely profaning God's name to the masses – to their spiritual harm.

    You can look at the section that talks about the pagan-spiritistic symbols here:

    Theresa, if you make it back here, I'd love to see a real URL to what you're referencing. The blogspot blog you list doesn't exist.

    Sorry – got my "is" and "are" mixed up again.

    Make that –

    You can scroll down to the list of pagan/ spiritistic symbols; or click that section on the sidebar….

    The heart-aching/mind-aching video I'm decrying (and yes it hurts) is found at the following website.

    I found 23-25 different pagan-spiritistic symbols being utilized here (one would be too many to attach to "Yahweh"); besides dark-incidious messages that are overshadowing what could have been good.

    Yahweh turns a deaf ear to such "prayers." Blasphemy and spiritual adultery PAIN him, PAIN his Son, and pain Yahweh's loyal ones.
